SubjectRe: 2.1.131: some quality thoughts
Never saw the original message, but I have always been bothered by the
directory labeled core/ (Is it in net? or sound? can't remember). core
is a terrible name for anything but a core-file. In fact, core isn't even
a good name for a core file (I think the core-file name should include the
executable file name and the PID). Something like
core-:usr:local:bin:netscape-23452 would be nice..... Feel free to
replace colons with anything else (periods would be nice too).
